What breeds do I have?

I have three Barred Rocks, and four assorted girls I got from a friend. Any idea what breeds they are?
The one dark pullet has feathering on her legs, the other does not.
The lighter of the two reds is laying blue/green eggs, but the other three have not shown any sign of laying yet.
I'm hoping if I can figure out breeds that may give me an idea of when to expect eggs. I'm not 100% sure of their ages, but the three not laying don't have red combs yet.
Also, is this time of year going to impact egg production regardless of weather? It's been so warm for October in northwestern PA, but my Barred Rocks haven't been laying as consistently.
Thanks in advance!

If she is laying blue/green eggs, then she is some kind of Easter Egger. I think she might be a Starlight Green Egger, but I could be wrong about that. Easter Eggers come in many shapes and colors, and are sold with many different names.

but the other three have not shown any sign of laying yet.
I'm hoping if I can figure out breeds that may give me an idea of when to expect eggs. I'm not 100% sure of their ages, but the three not laying don't have red combs yet.
Since their combs are not red yet, it will be at least a few weeks before they are ready to lay, and possibly longer than that.

Also, is this time of year going to impact egg production regardless of weather? It's been so warm for October in northwestern PA, but my Barred Rocks haven't been laying as consistently.
The time of year will have an effect on egg production because of the shorter days, no matter what the weather does.

1 Black copper maran, 1 black sex link, 2starlight green egger is what I see.
I agree that those breeds are quite likely. The Black Copper Marans would be the one with feathered feet, the Black Sexlink would be the other black one, the one laying blue/green eggs would be a Starlight Green Egger, and the other red one might also be a Starlight Green Egger (although she could also be a Red Sexlink, which would lay brown eggs. When she starts laying eggs, the egg color should settle the question of which one she is.)
